inductive style Bible study and discussion.

1 Corinthians 8

1 Corinthians
8:

We don't get a whole lot of this now, but
maybe there are still ways the instructions apply.

1. What are some examples you've seen of
puffed up Christians?

2. Replace "food sacrificed to idols" with
Halloween to get a more modern understanding of this chapter. Some
Christians believe witches and goblins have no power over us, and, therefore,
there is no harm in celebrating Halloween (verses 4-8). Others believe by
celebrating Halloween, we are giving honor to these things...maybe even a form
of worship.

3. How does Paul say we should exercise our
liberty in front of those who are "weak" in faith?

4. Does this say Halloween should not be
celebrated even if the weak are not present? Why/Why not?

5. Does this chapter say you can't do
anything that might be a stumbling block to a weaker believer? Why/Why
not?
